Even After Death novel (Olivia and Ethan) novel Chapter 258

Chapter 258

Ethan stared quietly at Olivia. She hadn’t done anything out of the ordinary in the past few days.

The most she did was spend long hours at the hospital a few days ago. Jeff was getting weaker by the day. It was only reasonable for Olivia to want to spend as much time with him as possible.

For the past few days, she didn’t go anywhere outside of the residential area. Everly didn’t come over either.

She was wearing a beige lace dress. The breeze caressed her face as flower petals danced around her. She was exceedingly beautiful.

Ethan realized how gentle Olivia could be when she kept her distance from him.

Olivia looked him in the eye from a distance away. She nodded in place of a greeting. Then, she left without even turning back.

Ethan felt upset. He had made a decision and given her a promise, but he kept breaking his own rules for Olivia’s sake.

Seeing that she was about to leave, he stepped forward and grabbed her wrist.

Olivia looked at him calmly, then sounded a warning. “Mr. Miller.”

Ethan was wearing his usual suit and leather shoes, but his tie was a little lopsided. A strand of his usually neat hair hung on his forehead.

This wasn’t like him.

He was getting engaged tomorrow. Logically speaking, he should be on cloud nine at the moment. “So why does he look so sad?” Olivia wondered.

Ethan gulped. “I just feel uneasy.”

He knew he shouldn’t come looking for Olivia, but the uneasiness had been gnawing at him for days.

“Oh.” Olivia blinked, then looked calmly at him.

The sky darkened, and the streetlights above them quietly turned on.

His tall figure was bathed in the light from the streetlights. The calmness was gone from his face.

“Are you hiding something from me?”

Ethan didn’t know why he had that feeling. The last time he felt this uneasiness was two years ago, the day before Olivia fell

into the ocean.

He felt that something was about to happen.

Olivia looked up into his eyes. Her voice was quiet as she said, “No. Can you let go of me, Mr. Miller?”

Her face seemed to be covered in fog. He couldn’t figure out her true thoughts.

“After all, I don’t want your fiancée to misunderstand.”

“If…”

Ethan hesitantly spoke up. “If you need anything, you can tell me.”

“I need a man. Will you give me that?” Olivia smiled, watching Ethan’s expression turn cold.

“See? If you can’t do it, don’t make promises so casually. Mr. Miller, you probably don’t understand this. But the higher your hopes are, the bigger your disappointment will be.”

Reaching out, she pried his fingers off her wrist. “You once said that I’m the only woman in your life, but in the end, you didn’t keep your word.”

“1…”

When Ethan’s last finger was pried away, Olivia turned her back to him. “Ethan, don’t talk to me anymore. My life has nothing to do with you anymore.”

With that, Olivia ran into the distance.
